I learned to like megas and z-moves after hating them when they got revealed, but I'm not sure about dynamax. Although the multiplayer battles against them look fun.

Okay. Stop playing it then. If you're that upset by a mechanic that looks gimmicky at this point then yeah, you're probably not all that interested in the first place.

Can you explain the mindset here to me?

I don't get how people see things like that and hate them with seemingly a lot of fervor instantly. I'm either "That's cool" or "I don't care" until they get explained in more detail, and once they are explained, I just see them as a part of the battle system.

Is it a competitive player thing?

Those things are only part of it for me. Region just looks boring as hell to explore. Everyone is best friends and they get along and there's no villains and no reason to keep playing. I've become champion in 7 different regions, give me somethin new and not a gimmick. More power to you if that's what you like but if this looks even more mind numbing than Alola.

I think it's because stuff like that breaches certain people's concept of what Pokemon is. "It's just a game where you catch creatures, not go super saiyan." Doesn't necessarily make sense but I think that's why people recoil to new stuff like this, even if they turn out not so bad.

Dynamax is not the same as Raid battles.
Dynamax is the "pokemon gets bigger and stronger for 3 turns" gimmick.
Raid battles are battles against a wild Pokémon which has unlimited Dynamax turns

If triples aren't in then it's just because GF is lazy
The switch can perfectly handle way more than 6 mons + 2 trainers models

My problem is how forgettable and how poorly-integrated those gimmicks end up being. They feel so tacked-on. The gimmicks only exist to counteract the gimmick itself; in-game you need to use Megas/Z/Dynamax to counter when the game throws them at you, but other than that, they're pointless. Then in the competetive/online meta, they only exist to create some kind of bullshit meta-meta with an even narrower pool of overused Pokemon. Then GameFreak has proven they'll just drop the gimmick after every gen like it never even happened and that's that. What's the fucking point? Do something to meaningfully enhance or overhaul the battle system or fuck off and leave it alone. Slapping these battle gimmicks onto the game is "NEW HAT" levels of bullshit.

The games need selling points to put on the back of the box, anon.
These new mechanics are part of the marketing.

So basically, people are just stupid and unable to 'evolve' in their perception of Pokemon along with the series?

Yeah that's kinda it, just unwilling to check out new stuff. I mean the older games had their own gimmicks too, but since those games came out before they were either interested in the series or had some inkling of critical thought, those ginmicks are great because they're "true" pokemon.
